The incluson of open-ends in a WOTC survey was a first for me. For those that don't know what open-ended questions are, they are questions which allow you to provide a more indepth response or explanation and are used to clarify a response and/or provide greater insight  than can be obtained by a simple yes/no, numerical rating or multiple choice.Now,I don't know how many times that I have taken a WOTC survey and wanted to explain a rating that I had given and could not do so, because the survey lacked open-ends.  For instance, in one previous survey,  I was asked to rate a product as a whole or by specific chapters on a 1-10 (or was it 1-5)scale.  There may have been some really excellent material in the chapter or book, but the rating was brought down significantly by the majority of other content.  The lack of open-ended questions  didn't allow me to explain my choice and acknowledge the content that I thought was exceptonal.  Instead, all that was obtained was a number that could be interpreted a number of different ways.Anyway,  I found the inclusion of open-ends something interesting (perhaps, because I have been doing occasional market research and see numerous surveys) and wanted to acknowledge WOTC for finally doing a survey that I felt had some quality.</blockquote>
